Jerusalem football team "Beitar" will be called "Beitar Trump Jerusalem" in honor of US President Donald Trump. The news is reported on the team's Facebook page: "Jerusalem was waiting for international recognition for 70 years, and finally President Trump boldly called Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. President Trump showed his courage and love for the people of Israel and his capital. Football club "Beitar Jerusalem", one of the most famous symbols of the city, is happy to pay tribute to the president for his love and support ". It is noted that the name of Trump was added to the name of the team by the chairman and owner of the football club Eli Tabib and the executive director of Eli Ohana. "Beitar Jerusalem" is known not only for numerous victories in national championships, but also for its frenzied supporters. It should be noted that the name of the American president will be immortalized not only in the name of the club, in Jerusalem in his honor will also be called one of the squares.

Earlier today it was reported that the United States was transferring its embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem, fulfilling President Trump's decision to recognize the city as the capital of Israel. The eastern areas and the historic center of Jerusalem, annexed by Israel from Jordan in 1967, claim Palestine, so the question of the status of Jerusalem is one of the main issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict. In December last year, Donald Trump announced the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the transfer to the city of the US Embassy.
